Last week I had a couple of greens with cup lump. I don't know what's worse, that, or goose poop. As for the tees, finding a level stance is first, followed by using a marker to help alignment.

There are times when moving to one side of the other of the tee box can make a difference. The 15th hole at Grandview is one example. The hole is a dogleg right with a large Cottonwood tree out on the right side of the fairway about 60 yards and before the dogleg. Here's how it looks from the right side of the tee box out towards the dogleg. The tall Poplar trees start about 150 yards out.

Here's how it looks from the left side of the tee box.

You can see quite a bit further around the corner from the left side. Also makes it a bit easier to get around the corner. I drive from the left side and aim for the left edge of the Cottonwood. Surprisingly, I often hit it pretty well out, around and down the fairway...

Oh! Ok that makes perfect sense, I will try this out the next time I’m out. I just usually line up down the middle and hit my shot. I am new to the game so I’m still learning.

I use the tee markers to widen the fairway... and to close off one side of the fairway.

This is what I do as well - sometimes.  Usually I just look for a flat spot.

    • Day 106: did a stack session. 
    • Day 292 - Filmed some swings focusing on the same thing (setup, grip, wrist at the top).
    • Day 182 (31 Oct 24) - Shorter session today.  Worked with the 5i - setup, alignment and overall tempo - hitting into the net.  
    • Thanks! It actually briefly dropped to 5.8 at some point in July, but it felt like it was too rich for my blood every moment of the whole two weeks I held the 'level' for me to sustain it. The term 'impostor syndrome' comes to mind.. :-)) I have certainly done better than I have in the previous years to stay the course in how and what I have practiced but yes, it's a high probability that I'm leaving a lot on the table.    
    • Dang... in the realm of things that probably don't matter all that much, golf slumps are the worst. Yes definitely consult a pro ASAP. Get back to hitting it solid again. Hitting the sweet spot solves a lot of problems. For me it's always the latter. My confidence grows as I hit more and more solid shots, which are the result of continuing to improve my swing thru better concepts, better practice, etc.  Yea, this for sure. And also, without a professional there to let you know you "did it better this time" it can be unnecessarily frustrating and confounding working alone. It's not that you can't work alone; clearly, you can. But during rough patches, it's always smart to consult professionals. Lessons are an amazing place to take new concepts and turn them into feels that you are confident will work. It's still really cool you consider this your best ever season. Congrats on hitting 7.8 this year!
